GEORGE E. BRINGMAN, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

Latas Patent No. 110,111, dated neoembe 13, 1870.v

-IMPROYEMENT IN MEA-1 AND VEGETABLE-CUTTERS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters .Patent and making part of the same.

. To all whom it may concemt:

. Be it known that I, GEORGE E. BRINGMAN, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia. and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Deviling Meats, and Meat'and Vegf Aetable-Cntter; and I do hereby declare that the fol- .lowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereof',

reference being had to the accompanying drawing and a part of this specification. i

The nature of my invention consists in the con` struction and arrangement of a machine for deviling and pounding meat, as will be hereinafter fully set forth. Iii-order to enable others skilled inthe art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now vproceed to describe its 'construction and operation, referring' to the annexed drawing, in which-'- Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section, and Figure 2, a plan vew'ot' my machine, as a meatdeviler or pounder. l

Figure 3 is a bottom view ot' the deviler Figure 4 is a longitudinal vertical section, and Figure 5 is a. plan view of my machine as a meat orvegetable-cutter.

Figure 6 is a bottom view of the cutter. A represents a stand, of any suitable dimensions, upon which is placed a revolving plate, B, provided with scalloped edges, as shown in gs. 2 and 5, or provided with projections around its circumference a convenientdistance apart, so that the plate may readily be ,revolved around its'axis with the hand.

Upon this-revolving plate is placed a pan, C, in vwhich'ithe meat is laid for pounding.

A pan is far superior tio the usual board or block',

`for pounding .the meat, because all the substance of the meatis retained, while on the board -orblnck it is lost.- i

v From one side ofthe stand Arises a forked standard, of suitable. height., in which -a lever, D, is pivoted. ,l

In the center of this lever, on the under side, is se; cured a box, E, thepeculiarlshape of which is shown in fig. 3,'its center being narrow and then gradually increasing in width toward the end, s,aid box extending entirely across the bottom of the pan C. From the bottom of this box projects a number of pins, a a, the upper end of each o't` which extends into v ja. tube, b,- withiu the box. to the letters ot reference marked thereon which form Ineach of said tubes, above the pin, isA placed a spring, d, which forces the pin downward for a certain distance.

vlhis plate is for the purpose of throwing lthe meat oil' of the pins and freeing themselves.

Having thus fully described my invention, lVhat I claim as nc\v,'and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

l. The revolving plate B, in connection with a meat-y deviling device, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The box E, provided with pins a a, tubes li b,

and springs d d, in combination with the revolving p plate B, all arranged substantially as and for the purpose described.

Iu'testimony that I claim"the foregoing as my own invention, I'atiix my signature in 4presence of two witnesses.
